All That Jazz ...

[moktan]

Eminently listenable , small ensemble jazz .. also features Joe Pass on guitar and Count Basie is very much the piano player .. this 1982 album is not to be confused with the similarly named albums released in 1950/1962/1978 ..

For me "Passing Ships" is a standout album till now, and now after repeated listens of this album, I've come to appreciate its subtle brilliance. Here…restraint interplay between Gilmore ,Bobby & Joe elevated the music, allowing the individuality of Hill's compositions to shine. This approach could have fallen flat in lesser hands, but here, it adds potency.

Sound quality of this blue note tone poet edition is brilliant!

Next up: wish to explore hill’s "Grass Roots" and "Smoke Stack".
